Did you ever see Candy do Jackie Gleason? Was on some obscure version of SCTV. It was, hands down, the most brilliant impersonation I've even seen. These legends shrink on the small screen but they are famous for a reason. They are enormously talented. I once went to a live taping of the Tonght Show w/ Jay Leno. Watching him work before the show and the production during I got a real sense of his genius. He was paid a lot of money for a reason.

There were tons of pictures from the State Fair in the paper. Huge crowds and hardly any masks to be seen. Just have to wait and see if numbers jump in the next several weeks amongst those who attended the NSF.
I don't blame employees for not saying anything to non compliant. There are reports of employees being attacked when they make that request. I'm known to shoot my mouth off occasionally but that's my decision.I heard from a few friends who have kids playing football in the small towns around Lincoln, and mask usage did vary according to what they saw. Some games had high usage, some had almost none......
And, when I was in Florida 3 weeks ago, the district around Tampa had a mask mandate, but I would say there was maybe 50% compliance in the stores I went into. And, the employees I saw didn't say a word to anyone coming into shop without one......

Agreed. It's putting employees in a tough position when you ask them to do their regular jobs, and then add the job of policing a situation that many people either forget to prepare for, or aren't crazy about doing.
I am just always curious to see the rate of compliance with the mask mandates in various situations.
Here's the solution:
- I went to Menards to get some supplies.
-The sign on the door says "Patrons must wear mask at all times inside Menards."
- I got my mask, put it on, and went inside Menards.
Too easy
Simply don't allow patrons if you want them to wear masks.
Don't simply "recommend"

That's fine if you have a security guard at the entrance enforcing the rule. But, what if the only employee on duty is behind a checkout counter? Do you want them to chase down a person entering the store without a mask, and leave the checkout stand unoccupied to chew their a$$ and attempt to throw them out? I know this will probably hurt a little bit coming from a Jarhead, but you Army types need to think things through a little bit.....
Look, all they have to do is politely reach out with a sign that says something like:
" We want you to wear a mask while inside, but we also want you to have the right to choose. Please help a guy out and let's help each other out. There's enough tension as there is. Let's show the country that we know what it means to compromise and get along. Thank You. The management."
Ya just have to try and tug at whatever heartstrings that might work.
Now if that flew over your Marine-sized head, I have a 7-year-old Grandson that can explain it.

Well, that's a little different approach than what you initially suggested, but I like it. I'm impressed with your ability to improvise, adapt, and overcome. ...Look, all they have to do is politely reach out with a sign that says something like:

It's easy when you don't even have a box in the first place that you have to think outside of.
All this fuss and righteousness over a false crisis. I guess they now know we are puddy in their hands. CDC comes out and say, well, only really 9,000 people died because of the virus the rest of them died while testing positive, maybe, to something, we're not sure.
Biggest crock ever unfurled.

The Menards in GI has an ex-FBI (retired I think) type that is enforcing the policy. A customer's daughter works there and was regaling her mother with stories of what people are trying to pass off as masks. Can you say women's lacy underwear for starters?
I was laughing so hard when I heard that. The enforcer told him "Nice try" and "We have masks here that you can purchase -- see the clerk right over there" and that was that, as the story goes.
